Procol Harum's A Whiter Shade Of Pale has now been officially recognised as the most played song in public places over the past 75 years.


The track beat Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody to the top spot, according to The People's Chart, which was compiled by music licensing company PPL to mark its 75th birthday and aired on Radio 2 yesterday.


Whats the connection between these 2 Songs Music affici..affiseen..afficiseen..followers?

I'm actually passing the day doing my ginagras.


If it carries on like this, I'll have to get a job..:X

Also a good contender, Huge-nut. That would have been my other choice. But for some twisted reason, I - an unbeliever - decided to give a fillip to Kumbaya, possibly the most irritating song on earth.


In general, PPL is only including as contenders 'recordings' played in public places. A 'broadcast' passive listening thing. Because that is all they are interested in on behalf of their clients.


But 'songs played in public places' suggests to me people actively playing/singing, whatever, together. Which is of absolutely no interest to PPL unless the song concerned is under copyright of a client of theirs.


And thus history is rewritten by those in power. Count the hundreds (thousands?) of references to the PPL 'anniversary story' across the interweb, already. :-S

    • My husband is currently a full-time carer for our two disabled children, and he’s keen to get back into paid work where he can fit it around our family needs. He’s immediately available and looking for local handyman work — from snagging and DIY jobs to gardening or general fixing-up. He’s capable, practical, and reliable, with plenty of hands-on experience restoring and maintaining, including with heritage/listed properties. If you have a to-do list you never quite get to, or need help with those annoying finishing touches, he’d be happy to help. Please drop him a message if you’d like to chat or check availability. 07968345884
    • Unfortunately Nissan was a disaster of a company when it created your car and still is, and most recently created another combined disaster alliance with Renault. Be aware, the trade value on your car is really low as no one wants to do the work & it's often only when it reaches near scrap value that someone (else) is willing to invest (their money) to try and fix. So if you're willing to front the money and fix your car that (you know) then that is most likely your best option (also understanding that it is outrageous that you should have to replace a CVT gearbox after 50K). If that isn't appealing consider a new Skoda Fabia 1.0 (Auto) on finance if you can't afford cash, it will last 20yrs.... (and avoid cars from the Stellantis group)
    • If you are referring to me, I was using my mobile. Just quoting the post I was replying to would have made no sense without showing my original post as well. I wouldn't have been able to do that on a "real PC" either, assuming I carried one around with me everywhere. It's nothing to do with what I'm using, it's the way the forum is set up to quote posts. I did insert a screenshot showing the keyboard by mistake.
    • You have to book for the Sunday roasts in advance. I have bad memories of once going for a circular  walk around Downe and then trying to eat. The Queens Head staff (and customers)  looked at us as if we were mad for attempting to get a meal without booking. The other pub in the village  reeked of bleach.  We had to  drive around in search of a meal, and ended up at some large pub whose name and location  I have thankfully forgotten. All I remember is the food, which was truly awful.
